Looks like Lake Erie when I was a kid living in Ohio.

I lived in BR at the time, but I've heard epic stories about the number of fish killed from that one.

I was a sophomore in high school and we played in state championship that weekend, it snowed the first day we were in New Orleans.

The December 1989 Cold Wave

Bill Murray | 10:11 pm December 22, 2007 |
Much of the United States was chilly as the second half of December 1989 began. A powerful and persistent upper level low pressure system set up over the southern Canadian provinces, keeping much of the U.S. under the influence of a huge trough. In Birmingham, the mercury peaked at 70F on the 6th followed by a cool down behind a cold front. Readings would remain at or below normal until the final week of the month.
But in the week leading up to Christmas, forecasters foresaw an episode of the Siberian Express unfolding. Dramatic predictions of intense cold diving all the way to the Gulf Coast dominated the headlines. On the morning of Tuesday, December 21, 1989, a powerful 1052 millibar high was over southern Saskatchewan. At Swift Current, the thermometer read -39F and the barometer 1053.2 millibars. Arctic air was plunging south behind a cold front that was pushing through Memphis. In Birmingham, it was 42F. In Memphis, it was 19F. By the morning of the 22nd, the mercury stood at 15F at Birmingham. It never got any higher that day. By midnight, the mercury would be down to 4F. It was -3F in Memphis and -10F in Nashville that cold morning.
For Birmingham, the coldest morning would be the 23rd, when the mercury dropped to 1F. Along the Gulf Coast, it was an amazing 7F in Houston, 11F in Lake Charles, 11F in New Orleans and 10F in Pensacola. 122 cities across the central and eastern United States reported record low temperatures for December 23rd. Forty one of the cities also record lows for the month of December, some which had only been set the day before. It was -4F at San Angelo TX and -26F at Topeka KS, all establishing all-time record lows for those locations.

In college at SELU and going to a chicks house in Kenner well she pronounced it Ken-nar. Had a nice little chill out party with her and her friends.
Her well rounded friend kept screw up everyone namely my fun.
Had to keep warm somehow and her well rounded friend blocked the wind in front of us while walking at the lake front area.
We all went to the lake Pontchtrain to check out the ice even saw a fish kill word was getting around about the ice and fish kill.

Plenty, plenty, plenty of all size trout picked up by commercials licensed to sell them. So much that that they flooded the market in a huge way. Many went to waste.

I think i hold the longest golf ball hit in Morgan City. I decided to crank one up and see how far it would go across the ice at Lake Palourde! Problem was, it never stopped and i have no earthly idea how far it went, but it was FARRRRRR!
